And if magnetic fields didn't induce current one couldn't walk under high
voltage lines and have a florescent light light up. That seems strange
(light light), but it's true.

Get a length of insulated wire, connect the ends to pins 2 and 3 of an
XLR, plug it into a mic pre and try the effect of having an open loop,
closed loop and then twisted tightly all along its length when held close
proximity to an AC power transformer.

Exactly right. And if you vary the spacing between the conductors
you'll discover an anomaly in your model.

More fundamentally, magnetic fields induce currents. To discuss
the topic with ordinary mortals, you'll just have to bend your
phrasing to the conventional.

Or as the antique saying goes "Watch your phraseology."
